Empire Crossing Retirement Community in Port Hope celebrated Mother’s Day (May 10) with a parade through the parking lot.

Due to COVID-19 like everywhere it wasn’t the usual Mother’s Day celebrations, but thanks to everyone, there were many smiles.

A number of vehicles were decorated for the event which was a happy success given the smiles throughout the facility.

There was an overwhelming rush of emotions for residents, family & staff, many happy tears were had. Despite the distance, no mother felt alone on Mothers Day here at Empire Crossing Retirement Community.
